Tianyi Pavilion | A place with distinctive features of southern Chinese gardens where you can also learn about local life
| A place with distinctive features of southern Chinese gardens where you can also learn about local life. 'Books hold the past and present, the port connects the world' is the slogan of Ningbo City, where 'Books hold the past and present' refers to Tianyi Pavilion.
In the 40th year of Jiajing, Fan Qin, the Deputy Minister of War, began to build a private library. Taking the meaning of 'Heaven generates water', he hoped to use water to prevent fire, the greatest calamity that has always plagued libraries.
Over the past four hundred years, Tianyi Pavilion has endured many disasters such as dynastic changes, wars, and theft. Fortunately, despite some losses, it has been preserved to this day. This is certainly due to the family teachings of the Fan family; Fan Qin and his descendants have devoted too much effort to this library.
Tour Guide
Tianyi Pavilion is a thematic museum that focuses on book culture, integrating research, protection, management, display, social education, and tourism. In my opinion, the best way to visit Tianyi Pavilion is to understand its historical background in advance, or hire a guide to tell you about it.
The Boya Hall, Zhuangyuan Hall, Fan's Former Residence, and Dongming Thatched Cottage are the main buildings inside.
Although it is not as exquisite as the Suzhou gardens, the rockeries and ponds here also reflect the characteristics of ancient Chinese gardens.
There is a display of southern wisdom here: the entire Tianyi Pavilion has no air conditioning, but the shops in the scenic area do, which makes you want to take a break in an air-conditioned room on such a hot day, and perhaps buy a cold drink or ice cream.
The stone engraving of the Shenlong version of the Orchid Pavilion Preface, housed in Tianyi Pavilion, is known as the 'Crown of the Orchid Pavilion'.
Photography Guide:
1 Personally, I don't have much experience with photography, but this place is definitely a great spot for taking photos in Hanfu, and even when I was visiting, many young people from Ningbo came here to take wedding photos.
2 The entire scenic area is compact, so there's no need for a telephoto lens, but the light inside the courtyard is not very good, so it's recommended to prepare a lens with a large aperture.

I really like this garden museum, one word, beautiful! Rich in cultural charm, one grass, one tree, one pavilion, one corridor, move and change the scenery, the feeling of people swimming in the painting, people browse the collections in the museum with a refreshing feeling, this is difficult to have this experience in other museums.
Very good scenic spot, private collection of books is unprecedented, the cultural atmosphere is very strong, you must follow the map to visit, otherwise it is easy to get lost, you must first do a guide to understand the history and then go to watch.
Tianyi Pavilion Museum is a famous attraction in Ningbo City. It is the largest private library in Asia. It has a heavy history and culture, elegant environment, pleasant scenery, strong fun, cost-effective, and the overall building is Jiangnan garden style. Slowly watch and appreciate, it is recommended.
The only place worth visiting in Ningbo, personally feel that it is more cost-effective than Leifeng Tower. It is the same as the maze inside. It is easy to leak the landscape without careful turn. For example, Tianyi Pavilion is hidden in an inconspicuous corner. The back Yuehu Park is not going, just like the street park.
The inside is super big, more than 30,000 flat, the road idiot may get lost, it is recommended to ask for a scenic map in the visitor center in advance. The scenery is very beautiful, in the garden, and the squatting back to my own home hundreds of years ago.
I lived in Ningbo Atour on New Year's Eve~ I chose to go out for a trip during the Chinese New Year this year. I just came to Ningbo to eat from Huai'an air ticket special~ I have a buddy recommended this hotel to go anywhere. It is very convenient. I have already referenced the specific location. As shown in the picture, the staff here are each A service attitude is very good, making you feel more comfortable. Secondly, there are many interesting places here, such as charging on the table, smart curtains, smart water dispensers, small refrigerators, Dyson hair dryers, smart toilets, robots 🤖, password boxes and other facilities are also relatively complete, you can hold meetings, there are libraries, office areas, Gyms, laundry areas, etc., their home is not an ordinary laundry room, and the specific related facilities are reflected in the picture. Atour should be a chain hotel. They have many special products. Their bedding is really very comfortable and sleeps naked. I feel that coming to Ningbo to choose here is more comfortable, worry-free, at ease, and at ease in terms of location, facilities, environment, cost-effectiveness and all aspects. If I recommend it, I will feel that coming here is a better choice. If you have other good Ningbo accommodation hotels, welcome to send me a private message, I will try it.
If you have the opportunity to go, you must go. It is the favorite of several attractions in Ningbo. The museum is very large and the historical heritage is very sufficient. It takes about 1-2 hours to walk down according to the standard tour process. The souvenirs here such as refrigerator stickers are also good. The price is 30-40 yuan, but it is more exquisite.
Very worthwhile, there are few people on Qingming Festival. When I was a teenager, I saw a pavilion on a wind and rainy day, and finally came here after many years. The Tianyi Pavilion garden is beautiful, the book inscriptions are great, the story is full, Mahjong and other additions are also a lot more interesting. Cultural creation is not too good. Nearby Moon Lake Park, etc., citywalk can be reached.
